Despite debate, the concept of enterotype-like clusters remains valuable for exploring the human gut microbiome and associated environmental factors. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wu et al. robustly identified an obesity-related enterotype-like cluster, Megamonas, and demonstrated its clinical relevance through cohort studies, mice, and cell experiments.
